Description:

Leaving behind an unfulfilling job in the New York City film industry, Bob Neubauer set out on his bike to see what life was like on the rest of the East Coast. He meandered along rural back roads, meeting strangers, listening to their stories and enjoying their unexpected hospitality. But not everything went perfectly. Searing summer heat drained his energy, dog attacks and overzealous preachers kept him running, and he spent many a nervous night bedding down where he didn’t belong. But through it all, the people who crossed his path, offering kind words and hospitality, gave him the inspiration he needed to persevere. Two Wheels and a Map details Bob Neubauer’s solo bike journey from Bangor, Maine, to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. His amusing observations on the people and predicaments he encountered along the way give the book a lighthearted tone as it chronicles his life on the open road.
